> On twitter if a profile is locked (cannot be viewed publicly and followers must be approved) it’s very difficult for a blocked user to ever see a post.
It's really not. Incognito window usually work, or something like nitter. Not to mention all the various archives of public tweets.

Yes, more friction, but if someone really wants to, instead of quoting, they just take a screenshot of the tweet and posts that instead.
